In the forest primeval of the Twenty Kingdoms, it's always lunchtime. At least it is for dragons, who like their meat two-legged, live, and, well, roasted. Fledgling knight Terry is in hot pursuit of such a creature, for he's in love with Princess Gloria, daughter of the King of Medula, and desperate for a credible way of claiming her hand in marriage. But when he finally succeeds in killing the beast currently scorching the Medulan countryside, he finds he's chased it over the border into Oblongata-obliging him to marry that kingdom's Princess Jane. Crazy Jane, as she's widely known. Given to long conversations with pot roasts, pork chops and other forms of cooked meat. Fortunately, Terry's loyal squire is prepared to take the fall-er, credit-for the feat and marry the addled girl . . . leaving the young knight stranded in his quest to become a hero.
Meanwhile, back in Medula, Princess Gloria has problems all her own. While she anxiously waits to hear that her beloved Terry has slain a dragon, her mother the Queen informs her that she will marry Roland, handsome scion to the wealthy Westfield bakers. Well, handsome and rich are all well and good, but how can a princess marry the mere patent holder for sliced bread... particularly when no one can prove this new-fangled product is even safe to eat?
Determined to escape the betrothal, Gloria devises a bold plan that will guarantee her marriage to Terry, and a life lived happily ever after. But not before a knight is benighted, a princess is abducted, a noble is hoist by his own petard, a baker earns his keep, an ogre regrets his eyesight and a tavern maid . . . oh, read the book to find out. In the land of the Twenty Kingdoms, there can be strange fates indeed.

Caroline had been kissing frogs for weeks to win the hand of a handsome prince and what she got was Hal who was definitely not handsome!
